Annual General Meeting

The 2014 Annual General Meeting (AGM) of BT Group plc took place at Old Billingsgate, 1 Old Billingsgate Walk, London EC3R 6DX at 11am on Wednesday 16 July 2014.

All shareholders are invited to attend our Annual General Meeting and meet the Chairman and the Board of Directors. We welcome this opportunity to report on our performance and answer your questions.

A company must hold an AGM annually, and not more than 15 months may elapse between one AGM and the next. A Notice of AGM and a Proxy Card/Admission Card are sent out on the day the Annual Reports are published, at least 21 working days before the AGM (by email for e-communicating shareholders). Our 2014 Annual Report was published on Thursday 22 May. Printed copies of the Notice of Meeting 2013 are available from the date of publication by contacting the BT Shareholder Helpline.

Voting

As a shareholder, even if you are unable to come to the meeting, your vote is still important to us, regardless of the number of shares you own. So, if you do not wish to attend and vote on the resolutions in person, you are encouraged to vote by proxy. To be entitled to vote, a shareholder must own shares as at 6pm two days before the day of the meeting, for 2014 this is 6pm on Monday 14 July.

How to vote at the AGM

Where there is a vote on a show of hands at a BT AGM or EGM, a shareholder present (in person or by proxy) at the meeting has one vote. Where there is a poll, a shareholder present (in person or by proxy) has one vote for every share they hold or represent.

AGM venue

The critical factors when choosing the AGM venue are likely attendance, cost and availability. In past years, we have held the meeting at various UK locations, including Liverpool, Cardiff, Birmingham, Nottingham, Wembley, London, Newcastle, Edinburgh, York and Manchester. By holding the AGM in different parts of the UK, we hope, over the years, to provide more and more shareholders with an opportunity to attend a meeting within a reasonable travelling distance of their home.
